The Best Varieties and How to Take
 Care of Them.
 The parrot population of New York is es- timated at twenty thousand by the New York Sun. The Pollies, as they are called without distinction of sex, are interesting subjects of study. There are good parrots and bad par rots, just as there are good children and bad children The bad parrot is one which has not forgotten the harsh, diseordant screams of parrot language in the tropical forests, and indulges in them throughout the live long day. He is also the possessor of linn tied vocabulary of the ''Polly wants crack

 After careful review of our new law for bidding aliens to own real estate, the London Times concludes that the recent opinion of the attorney general makes it practically in operative in the territories, while in the States there are much better forms of invest ment still open to English capital.
 The Financial Chronicle estimates the present population of this great, glorious and free country at 61 ,318, ,339. In the seven years since the last census it places the in- crease by births at 7,372, All and by in1mi- grafton at 3,793 ,Oo2, making total gain of il, 165, ,473. With a corresponding increase we shall have considerably over 66, 900, 900 of people when the next census is taken.
 A forcible pronibitory argument is that made by four hundred conyicts in the Nash vile State prison, who have signed an appeal ts the people of Tennessee to favor prohib- itory amendment. Their closing words are: Wearing the garb of disgrace, being dishon- ored and counted unworthy to mingle with the people of our State, we yet have the same love for our wives, the same devotion to our mothers, the same affection for our sisters, and for their sake, and for the sake of our children, we appeal to you to unite as one man and free the State from curse created by the hands of men, discountenanced by the law of God.
 An account of the funeral of the estimable wife of Judge Sporter in Dakota paper winds up with the following touching incl dent: Just after the funeral Budd Newell happened to mention that he could run the fastest foot race of anybody in the town. The judge happened to overhear the remark, hurriedly dried his tears and promptly showed up $1O that he couldn't. The course was selected on Beacon street, from Fifth avenue to the brewery, and the sorrowing and grief stricken widower easily beat Budd by about ten yards. Elder Hartshorn acted as starter, | and subsequently, made some pretty loud threats of licking Mayor Price, who claimed ! that there was foul play.

The MEDICAL Professionally. J.
w. Marshall, president of the State
Medical Society, read a paper before
the membens at their recent meeting in
Smyrna showing that there are 10000
physicians in the United States, being
one to 655 of population. In this State
there are 266 physicians, or one to 525
citizens, showing that we have more
than our full share. This ratio is twice
as large as in Canada; three times as
in Great Britain; four times as large
as in France six times as large as in
| Germany, and seven times as large as in
Italy. The doctor therefore thinks
there is little encouragement for man
